California Courses

What do you need?

California Real Estate Pre-License

To become a California salesperson you must take three 45-hour courses to qualify for a California real estate license. Our silver and gold salesperson prelicense packages include exam prep, test simulators, and instructor support to help you pass the California licensing exam.

California Real Estate Broker License

You need two years of experience as a salesperson to qualify for a broker license. A broker must complete five 45-hour courses in addition to the required salesperson courses. If you have taken our salesperson license training package, then our broker license training package will have everything you need.

California Real Estate Continuing Education

A California real estate licensee is required to take 45 hours of continuing education every 4-year license term. For renewing a Salesperson license for the first time, the required core topic courses you need are in our Ed-Pak 45-Salesperson package. For renewing a Broker license for the first time, the required core topics are found in Ed-Pak 45-Broker

For renewing a California real estate license for the second time and onward, Broker and Salesperson licensees can use Ed-Pak EZ to satisfy the Department of Real Estate CE requirements. California real estate license courses can also be purchased individually.

California Mortgage Loan Originator Continuing Education

Mortgage loan originators licensed in California must take a total of 8 hours of NMLS continuing education. If you are licensed through the Department of Business Oversight (DBO), you must take a 1-hour CA-DBO course along with 7 hours of standard education. If you obtained your loan originator license through the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), you may take the comprehensive 8-hour course without DBO credit. DRE licensees may optionally take the DRE-specific package, which provides NMLS credit as well as DRE credit towards your real estate license renewal (DRE Sponsor #4056).
